How Anthropic Raised US$30bn and Took Claude AI to India

The AI sector continues to attract significant investment despite market uncertainties, with Anthropic securing US$30bn in Series G funding led by GIC and Coatue.

This latest round values the company at a cool US$380bn as it stole the spotlight for the launch of Claude Opus 4.6 and a strategic expansion into India through a partnership with Infosys.

The funding round included participation from D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ and MGX, alongside portions of previously announced investments from Microsoft and NVIDIA.

According to Krishna Rao, CFO at Anthropic, the investment reflects growing demand from customers across the enterprise spectrum.

“Whether it is entrepreneurs, startups or the world's largest enterprises, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work,” Krishna says.

“This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing from these customers and we will use this investment to continue building the enterprise-grade products and models they have come to depend on."

The company's current run-rate revenue stands at US$14bn, having multiplied more than 10 times in each of the past three years.

Eight Fortune 10 companies are Claude users, while business subscriptions to Claude Code have quadrupled since the beginning of 2026.

Strategic Partnership with Infosys

Anthropic has partnered with Infosys to develop and deliver advanced enterprise AI solutions. 

The collaboration will integrate Claude models and Claude Code into Infosys Topaz – an AI-first suite of services that utilises agentic and Gen AI technologies to accelerate software development while maintaining transparent and regulated AI governance.

The partnership brings together Anthropic's AI capabilities with Infosys' extensive industry experience across telecommunications, financial services and manufacturing sectors.

This combination aims to address the specific challenges enterprises face when deploying AI systems in regulated environments where compliance and precision are paramount.

Infosys is headquartered in Bengaluru, where Anthropic is establishing its first Indian office to expand its physical presence across the country.

India represents the second-largest market globally for the Claude AI assistant.

Dario Amodei, Co-Founder and CEO of Anthropic, highlighted the importance of domain expertise in deploying AI systems within regulated environments.

“There's a big gap between an AI model that works in a demo and one that works in a regulated industry – and if you want to close that gap, you need domain expertise," Dario notes.

“Infosys has exactly that kind of expertise across important industries: telecom, financial services and manufacturing.

“Their developers are already using Claude Code to accelerate their work and to create AI agents for industries that demand precision, compliance and deep domain knowledge”.

India Expansion and Market Opportunity

Irina Ghose, Managing Director of India at Anthropic, emphasised the country's potential for responsible AI deployment.

“India represents one of the world's most promising opportunities to bring the benefits of responsible AI to vastly more people and enterprises,” Irina says.

“Already, it's home to extraordinary technical talent, digital infrastructure at scale and a proven track record of using technology to improve people's lives.

“That's exactly the foundation you need to make sure this technology reaches the people who can benefit from it most.”

The partnership aims to shift AI operations from passive query responses to active production contributions.

This could include AI agents processing claims, generating and testing code or managing compliance reviews.

Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK is designed to build agents capable of working persistently across extended, complex tasks and processes.

India's technology sector presents significant growth opportunities for AI deployment, with its combination of skilled workforce, established digital infrastructure and government initiatives supporting technological innovation.

The country's experience in scaling technology solutions across diverse populations positions it as an ideal market for enterprise AI expansion.

Salil Parekh, CEO at Infosys, described the collaboration as transformative for enterprise operations.

“AI is not just transforming business – it is redefining the way industries operate and innovate," he says.

“Our collaboration with Anthropic marks a strategic leap toward advancing enterprise AI, enabling organisations to unlock value and become more intelligent, resilient and responsible.

“From modernising financial services with intelligent risk management and compliance, to enabling engineering businesses to lead with AI-driven design and manufacturing, the goal is to leverage the joint expertise of Infosys and Anthropic to accelerate AI value realisation for global enterprises.” 

Following the collaboration announcement, Infosys shares rose 5% within hours, suggesting positive market reception to the partnership's potential.
